I think the opposite of ulterior is citerior. The opposite of inferior is superior.

My bad, I mixed those two together...

Seems to me that in 1.1 AI Makedonia almost always loses out to either KH or Epeiros. In my game even with me (Epeiros) out of Greece, they still don't seem to be able to actually beat KH. Why is that?

Impressive, the Ptolies still holds Kilikia after 50 years into the game. Usually, if the Ptolies hold Kilikia at that time, they have either conquered half of the map, or has just defeated the AS.

232 BC
I have force diplomacy, but didn't use it.

I Like the expansion of all factions(except maybe Makedonia and Hayasdan)
Romani expansion into Germania is really out of the complicated alliances in Gaul, they recently encroached upon my German Province, sending a full stack full of Extraordinarii and Ligurians, basically the best stuff they had in the area. I somehow managed to scrap up a bunch of mercenaries, low end levies, and some Belgae spearmen.
I pretty much eviscerated the entire roman war machine, scoring multiple heroic victories with sad crappytastic troops.
At the same time a small army of about 4 Gaelich and Slingers took Masilia, and 2 huge armies are going around Iberia to invade them from the sea.

Best Expansion I've seen so far with Pontos, taking all of the coastal rebel cities and building up a great economy
Iberia is in great shape, with 3 Large cities and about 3 full-stack armies, I'm allied with them(when they invaded Gaul and declared war on Aedui it gave me a reason to take the entire northern coast. Not really sure why they haven't taken Baikor...

225 BC
The 3 armies invaded Italy at the same time, overwhelming the romans in about 2 years, would've been much faster if it weren't for their powerful and cheap armies that number in the tens of stacks...

The Lusotana managed to take even more of Gaul, declaring war on the Arverni and..giving me an excuse to eliminate them.
The Aedui managed to hold out a bit longer against The Arverni, Lusotana, roving Roman straglers, and of course me, through a rebellion and a lucky 16 year old sucessor in Tolosa, then of course the 2 main armies of the Luso's destroyed them.

Woah. Don't be offended, but the Ai expansion is ugly

Baktria's expansion is pretty sweet, if unorthodox.

Epirus gets kicked out of Italy pretty soon in 1.1, they have the resources to fully concentrate on marching on Pella and Illyria, making life a Hell for AI-controlled Macedonia.

In most of my 1.1 campaigns Epeiros uses its Nellies to take Pella in the first turn and often Serdike in the second turn. Then the Maks are screwed. I have seen them coming back sometimes, if they manage to take Pergamon or if they can grab Athens early on.

256 BC. Aedui. RTW.exe. No cheats ´cept toggle_fow and some Perect_Spy (and only to look at what the Baktrians and those guys are doing). No FD (though if the need arise...).

Arverni: Dead. Mohahahahah!

Casse: Not much, usual slow expansion.

Sweboz: Damn, looking much to good. These guys are really worrying me, though I have managed to negotiate an alliance with them.

Getai: Not much here really. Slow steady expansion. Been trying to take Naissos for some time now.

Qarth-Hadast: A bit depressing here really. Nothing at all ´cept some African conquests.

Lusitannan: Finally, someone to make me happy. Blitzed all the regions next to Carthage´s and are now going for Emporion.

Sab´yn: Meh. Really, just meh.

Sauromatae: Holy shit! When Foot said the steppes have teeth he wasn´t kidding. Killed of Hayasdan, took Sápmi and Pantikapaion, and are aiming for the rest of the Caucasus and Olbia.

Hayasdan:

Owned suckers!

Pontos: Took Galatia early, I was hoping it would revolt to me or the Arverni, but no luck. Not really done anything since then.

Saka-Rauka: Some usual fighting with the Settlers of the Evil East , not much else.

Baktria: Some usual fighting with the Savage Indians of the Evil East, but not much else. Still friendly with the Evil Capitalists of the Evil East and the not-quite-so-Savage Indians of the Evil East.

Pahlava: Going good against the Sele´s, not much else to report.

Arche Seleukeia: Losing the war against the Pahlava. Lost Hekatomplyos to revolt exactly 6 times before the Pahlava took it. Lost Drangiane to rebels. No news on the western front, the Syrians war are at an standstill. They did took Sidon though, but that was years ago, and nothing really came of it. Should be praying that the Yellow Ukrainians and the Wannabe-Xerxes doesn´t gang up on them, or Scythian nobles will be dining in Babylon before the decade is out.

Ptolemaioi: Booooooooring. Took Kyrene, lost Sidon.

Koinon Hellenon: Kicking ass. Driven the Black Diadochi out of Hellas proper (well, apart from a stupid little island that refuses to surrender) and are looking comfortable against Epeiros, though that might chance soon...

Makedonia: Beaten badly by the Orange Philosophers but are hanging on in Pella. Perhaps not for long though...

Epeiros: Got driven out of Biggus Grekus by the ILF (Italian Liberation Front) but Taras revolted back and they´re now kicking the ass of those damnded barbarians.
Staying strong back on the mainland, even if they aren´t doing much ´cept taking Serdike. Have an alliance with me that might just prove very, very fruitful sometime soon.

Romani. Took Taras and Rhegion in the first years. Nothing´s gone right since then.
I did some really great campaigning in northern Italy, on both the strategic and tactical level. Anyway, the result was that I took all of Northern Italy, defeated 4 of their big armies and sacked (enslaved, razed every building and left) Arretium and Ariminium. Shortly after lost Taras to revolt. Been trying to attack me, but they´re still weak and I´m doing some very aggresive defending, striking their small armies on Roman soil before they can gather into one big one.

Aedui. Most glorious incredibly great Gallic tribe ever! WOOOOOOOOT111111111111!
Blitzed Arverni and most of Gaul, kicked the ILF´s ass and just made Illyria my clients (L4 Gov, have it in Liguria as well, will probably have it in all non-Gaul regions I take, at least the ones with non-Gaul but tribal regions) and have a Wannabe-Brennos army ready. And no, not the Rome-sacking Brennus, the other one. Might make it as far as Galatia, who knows.
